World Population Has Overrun Mother Earth's Ability To Sustain Herself

The world's population has exceeded Mother Earth's ability to sustain it concludes a recent research report. Global human population has surpassed Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity  We are putting increased pressure on our climate crisis, our ability to feed ourselves and more.

Instead of 8 billion people we should have closer to 2.5 billion to live sustainably.

Over Population makes reducing our climate crisis that much more challenging. Think  of it this way, if we had made an effort to keep the world's population at 4 billion in 1974, (twelve years after the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and the birth or modern environmental movement) pollution would be about half of what it is today.

Too many people  will create numerous challenges in the years ahead.

We already see the conflict that Climate Migration is causing around the world. America is being flooded with people crossing its southern border fleeing climate change in their home countries. This is creating internal conflict within America. Governors in southern states have begun packing people in buses and sending them north. While talking heads gin us up over the issue.

More people consuming more will create conflict.
